Chapter 27: Life After Marriage

  New Book Recommendation:

  One night, Deng Zixuan woke up to find the sky already bright. He saw Yuanner had gotten up early and was sitting in front of the dressing table, while Biying and Danxia were busy beside her. Deng Zixuan got out of bed with his upper body bare and wearing only his pants, and when he heard the commotion, Biying and Danxia turned their heads to look, and upon seeing him, they let out a loud shriek and fled in disarray. Yuanner also turned her head to look, her face red as she said: "Husband, you've read all those classics, how can you not be more discreet!"

  "Ah, wife! What's the big deal about being naked in front of you? You're my wife, who dares to gossip?" "I'm saying that you should be more discreet in front of the maids!" "The maids shouldn't enter our room without my permission, it's most improper. What if I lose control and do something wrong?" Wan'er stared at her husband with wide eyes, thinking he made sense: "Husband, I'll remind them to be careful next time, hurry up and get dressed, we need to go pay our respects!"

  In the hall, they met Zhang Guan Jia, who respectfully greeted Wan'er but completely ignored Deng Zi Xuan. Looking at Guan Jia's back, Deng suddenly realized that something was off - this kid could be trouble if he's always stirring up trouble, and I don't have time to deal with him, I need to take care of him. After paying their respects to High Hold Person and High Madame, the couple arrived at Shu Tong's living quarters.

  The children of Deng's class were quietly reviewing their lessons, seeing Mr. and Mrs. coming, they came out one by one to kowtow to Mrs. Calling "Mrs." in unison made Wan'er's heart bloom with joy. Later, Deng Zixuan and Wan'er walked hand in hand into the small garden for a stroll, Biying and Danxia followed far behind, seeing the affectionate appearance of the couple, the two girls were envious to death.

  "Wan'er, I found out last night that you weren't bound!" Deng Zixuan asked curiously. "Husband, when I was young, I stubbornly refused to let my mother bind my feet, are you angry?" Wan'er said shyly in a small voice. "Do you know, seeing you without bound feet last night made me so happy that I almost kissed your feet? I don't like small feet, I like big feet!" "What you're saying is true, I've been worried about it all along!" Wan'er leaned her head on Zixuan's body.

  The two of them cuddled for a while, when Deng Zixuan suddenly remembered something and said: "Wan'er, as husband and wife, there's one thing I mustn't hide from you!" Seeing her husband's serious expression, Wan'er was slightly startled and asked: "What is it?" "There's a maid by Mother's side named Xiaohong who has an affair with me, and she's now pregnant!" Upon hearing this, Wan'er lowered her head, biting her lip in anger. Wan'er's angry look was always so adorable, making Deng Zixuan feel guilty.

  Wan'er didn't say a word, and Deng Zixuan said: "Wan'er, I know I owe you an apology, but I'm a man. Since Xiaohong has become my woman, I have to take responsibility!" Wan'er let out a light sigh and said: "In that case, I'll talk to Father about bringing her over." "Wan'er is so magnanimous, it makes me ashamed. But Mother can't bear to part with Xiaohong, so let's just leave her there! I told you this because I didn't want to hide it from you." Wan'er's tears flowed out, and even a newlywed like Yan Er would find such a heart-wrenching situation unbearable. Wan'er was a kind-hearted woman, and she decided not to tell her parents for the time being so as not to embarrass her husband.

  The next morning, Deng Zixuan urged Wanyu to get dressed. "Husband, do you want to go on a picnic?" Wanyu secretly rejoiced. "Wanyu, I don't have the mood for a picnic, we've been married for three days, let's go home and see my mother, she hasn't seen you yet!" Wanyu was shocked: "Husband! Absolutely not, you are a son-in-law who has moved in with his wife's family, it is not allowed to return home, Father will not agree either." "I'll come and talk to your father!"

  "What, you want to go back home? From the day you married into our family, you became a member of the Gao family. Without my permission, you can't go back home!" Gao Juren's attitude was very resolute.

  Deng Zixuan laughed and said: "Father-in-law! What kind of ridiculous rule is this? When a daughter gets married, she still goes back to her parents' home after three days. Is it reasonable that I got married into the Gao family and can't even go back to visit my parents? I not only want to go back, but also want to take my wife with me!"

  "Could it be that you married into the Gao family to grab their wealth?" Gao Jiren asked bluntly. Deng Zixuan pulled out a contract from his pocket and smiled calmly, "Father-in-law, take a look at this!" Gao Jiren took the contract in surprise. Suddenly, his eyes widened as he read it, "The Pu Dong Trading Market has half of its shares in your name, along with Hu Xueyan?" "To be honest, Father-in-law, the Pu Dong Trading Market was co-founded by me and Hu Xueyan. As for how much my shares are worth now, I'm sure you're aware. My marrying into the Gao family wasn't about seeking wealth, but for Wan'er."

  "Haha! I didn't expect you to be so capable at such a young age, I apologize for underestimating you, please forgive me! The great merchant Hu Xueyan is quite something, and you're actually able to cooperate with him? I'm beyond surprised!" High Lifting Person's expression changed as he looked at his wife. Mrs. High nodded in understanding: "As the saying goes, rules are not set in stone, our son-in-law is a filial child, look at that!" "Alright, I agree. But what about this contract?" "Father-in-law, since I've married into the High family, it's only natural for you to keep the contract." "Since you trust me, I won't be overly polite!" High Lifting Person smiled with joy.

  The couple returned home, and everyone in the Deng family was surprised. Especially when Mother saw Wan'er, her gloominess of the past few days disappeared. Wan'er and Xiaohong also met, and it was unexpected that they chatted very harmoniously. After finishing dinner together, Mother personally escorted Deng Zixuan and Wan'er to the door and reminded Zixuan to follow the rules at the Gao's house. Xiaohong didn't come out, and a woman's thoughts are not hard to guess.

  Back at the Rose Manor that evening, Deng Zixuan secretly tucked a revolver into his waist and instructed his maid Biying to inform Zhang the butler to go to the garden. Deng Zixuan arrived first in the garden and waited for him. Tonight, he had to tame this greedy-eyed guy. A small butler like him couldn't even be handled? "Young Master, what do you want from me?" Zhang the butler still maintained his arrogant demeanor. Deng Zixuan stared at the butler and suddenly pulled out a gun, pressing it against the butler's head.

  "Master Zhang, Master Zhang! What are you doing?" Zhang's face turned green with shock. "Son of a bitch, you selfish little man, believe it or not, I can blow your head off!" Deng Zixuan said viciously. "Master Zhang! I'm blind to my own mistakes, please spare me!" Zhang was so scared that he knelt down on the ground, his whole body shaking like a leaf. Deng Zixuan continued to press the gun against his head, saying: "If I blow your head off now, even Father-in-law won't stand up for you, where's your dignity gone?"

  The housekeeper Zhang started kowtowing and speaking incoherently: "Master, spare me! I'm not human, you can treat me like a fart, I won't dare again!" Deng Zixuan put away his gun and asked: "Do you have family?" "Master, if you want to punish someone, just punish me alone! Please spare my family!" The housekeeper was scared out of his wits, thinking that this young man wanted to find his family to settle the score, which was too cruel. Deng Zixuan laughed and said: "What are you thinking? Am I a heartless person? I'm asking again, do you have family?"

  Seeing Deng Zixuan smile, Zhang Guanjia gritted his teeth and said: "I have a family, not here!" Deng Zixuan said: "Now there are two roads in front of you. One is to bring your family here, dedicate yourself to me wholeheartedly... The second road I will drive you out of Rose Manor and roll back home You choose!" Zhang Guanjia saw the gun in Deng Zixuan's hand and truly realized that this master was not easy to provoke: "Young Master, I am willing to work hard as a dog, if there is any disloyalty, I will not die well!"

  "Get up!" Deng Zixuan put away his gun, and his attitude changed obviously. Zhang Guanjia got up with a still tense expression, "Alright! You can go back now! Tomorrow you take me to have a look around the manor, after that I will inspect the management of the manor! You can inform Master Gao about this matter!" "I dare not!" "Do as you please and leave!" Watching Zhang Guanjia's retreating back, Deng Zixuan knew that this guy didn't even dare to report to Master Gao.

  Next, Deng Zixuan suggested going out of the mansion to enjoy the greenery, and Wan'er naturally agreed with excitement. Deng Zixuan and Wan'er walked to the front gate of the mansion, where Zhang Guanjia was already waiting. "Miss, young master, I'll lead you around!" Zhang Guanjia said carefully. Wan'er frowned and said, "Zhang Guanjia, go take care of your own business!" Seeing Zhang Guanjia's embarrassment, Deng Zixuan smiled and said, "Wife, it was my idea to have Zhang Guanjia accompany us around. He is familiar with the mansion; otherwise, we would be stumbling in the dark!" Since it was her husband's suggestion, Wan'er could only agree.

  Wan'er rarely left the mansion, and everything seemed so delightful. The roadside fields were filled with wildflowers, swaying in the wind, competing for beauty. The maids Biying and Danxia were laughing and picking wildflowers, Wan'er was probably eager to join them, but as a married woman, she had to maintain her dignity. Deng Zixuan noticed his wife's restraint, so he personally picked a bunch of wildflowers from the roadside and made a flower wreath.

  Wan'er was a bit bewildered, and Deng Zixuan casually put it on her. "Biying, Danxia, don't you think Wan'er is beautiful?" Deng Zixuan's expression was like that of a mischievous child. "Wow! Miss is as lovely as a heavenly maiden!" "Miss is as beautiful as a fairy!" Biying and Danxia surrounded Miss in a flurry. Wan'er's face turned bright red, and she looked at Deng Zixuan with extra joy. "Wan'er, go play with Biying and Danxia, there aren't so many rules here, it's just right that I discuss some things with the steward."

  Seeing Biying and Danxia pulling away Yuanyu, Zhang the housekeeper smiled obsequiously: "Young master, this is the first time I've seen Miss so happy. Young master and Miss are truly a perfect match!" "Enough! I don't want to hear flattering words. Just now, I took a walk around and had a simple look. Since I married into Rose Manor, I must consider it my own home, so I need to re-plan the manor. Therefore, I have several important tasks for you to handle." "Please instruct me, young master. I will do my best!" The housekeeper nodded repeatedly in agreement.

  "Look at the mound of rocks on the right side of that paddy field, have someone flatten it out and then build a wall around it to construct houses. As for how to lay them out, I'll give you a detailed blueprint. That threshing ground over there should be utilized, and granaries should be built around it. Also, those two small rivers should be made use of, with pig farms, chicken farms, and duck farms built along the riverbanks. As for how to build them, I'll give you detailed instructions." Deng Zixuan finished speaking in one breath. The steward was deeply shocked and said: "Young master, this humble servant cannot fathom your thoughts, but will do his utmost to carry out your orders, however, regarding Old Master's side..."

  "Don't worry about the old master, I'll take care of it. Just focus on your work. Here's 5 taels of silver, go and bring your family over, I'll arrange a place for you to stay in the mansion. Since I'm using you, I want you to be at ease and do your best!" "Thank you, Master! I'll devote myself to serving you with all my heart and soul!" Zhang the steward completely submitted.
